Produktbeschreibung
Concepts of the human body are often culturally different in detail, but show many similarities on a general level: illness is often seen as a disturbance of an original order, so that comparisons of the body with a system (state, cosmos, recurring natural phenomena) can often be found. Changes are caused by gods and demons as well as environmental influences/climate and internal body disorders (juices, pathogenic substances). The assumption of a person's continued existence after death is widespread, it requires a respectful treatment of the dead body. Funeral customs often reflect the social significance of the living person. A good life is almost always determined by the social role, by health, strength and many offspring. Many of these ideas are still prevalent today.
